1t is obvious that if the Democratic party
in Hartford county continues to nominate Its
candidates by the Crawford County system
our delegates TO the Legislature must secure
the passage ofa law TO legalize these elections,
making il misdemeanor, punishable by fine
and imprisonment, to bride voters with money
or whisky. something of this kind is not
done the party will be virtually destroyed
here. A change to the old convention system
has been suggested, but that affords no ade-
quate remedy, since it leaves everything in the
hands of the managers and offlce-seekers, the
voters themselves having very little voice in
the matter.

SCARBOROUGH.


News items are scarce in this vicinity, the prn-
cipal topics since the primaries have been the
seasonableness of the weather for the growing
crops and the difficulty of getting up oats
Mrs. Margaret Williamson and her son Frank,
formerly of Hartford but now of Illinois, are wis.,
itng their friends here. There are also many
agreeable people from Baltimore and other
places temporarily sojourning in the neighbor-
hood
Some time since Mr.. Columbus Scarborough
saw a large hawk flying over with q snake about
yard long writhing in its talons. Thus with
destroying snakes. mice and other vermin, hawks
are not an unmitigated evil.
The ladies of Ascension p. l.. Church will hold

their clothing solled, as was unfortunately the
case in some instances, heretofore.

VINO STRUCK CHARLES KEAN y-0n Monday
States Attorney Maynsdier was requested to
20 to Darlington 10 look after the interests of
the State In an alleged case of serious assault.
1t ap peared from evidence before Justice Wat
tiers that Charles Kean and another colored man
named Christie, ON their way home from their
lodge, between Q and 10 O'Clock, called at the
house Of George johnson, near Darlington
johnson was not at home and they remained
about two hours, talking to Johuson's wife,
When about to leave Christie playfully snatch
ed Kean's wa!king-stick from his hand and ran
out Of the door, closing II behind him. Kean
followed but Christie held the door so that 1t
could not be opened. Kean then ran to a win
dow opposite the door and put his head out
AS he did SO the window fell and Kean stagger-
ed back with deep cut on his head. johnson
arrived very soon afterwards. Christie took his
friend TO DR., John sappington, who dressed the
wound and whose opinion was that the wound
could not have deem caused by the falling win
dow. Johnson's wife said Kean had rammed
his head through pane Of glass and johnson
himself averIed that he did not arrive until all
was over. There being no evidence to prove
that any one cracked Kean's head no arrests
were made. The question as TO who struck
Charley Kean will remain as great mystery as
the one concerning Billy Patterson.
